16. A physiological sensor and communication interface comprising:
an on-body unit configured to attach to a body of a user and comprising at least two physiological sensors, each of the at least two physiological sensors configured to generate data including data indicative of a different physiological signal; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a software library configured to be executed by one or more processors of a computing device, wherein the software library is subject to regulatory approval as a medical device, wherein the software library comprises a sensor control module including instructions to:
bind a first physiological sensor plug-in associated with a first type of physiological sensor to a core framework in the sensor control module, the first physiological sensor plug-in including a first set of sensor-specific commands for communicating with a first physiological sensor of the at least two physiological sensors;
bind a second physiological sensor plug-in associated with a second type of physiological sensor to the core framework, the second physiological sensor plug-in including a second set of sensor-specific commands for communicating with a second physiological sensor of the at least two physiological sensors, wherein the second type of physiological sensor is different from the first type of physiological sensor, and the second set of sensor-specific commands is different from the first set of sensor-specific commands;
authenticate the computing device with the on-body unit,
enable a communication session with the on-body unit to substantially simultaneously receive the data from each of the at least two physiological sensors,
store the data acquired from each of the at least two physiological sensors in a memory of the computing device,
obtain an output indicative of the physiological signal from the data of each of the at least two physiological sensors, and
provide the output indicative of the different physiological signal from each of the at least two physiological sensors to an authenticated third-party application running on the computing device, wherein the authenticated third-party application is not subject to regulatory approval.
